Red wreathsHang in my neighbor's windowGreen wreaths in my own.On this day I lost my husbandOn this day you lost your boy.On this dayChrist was born.Red wreaths,Green wreathsHang in our windows,Red for a bleeding heart,Green for grave grass.Mary, mother of Jesus,Look down and comfort us.You too knew passion;You too knew pain.Comfort us,Who are not brides of God,Nor bore God.On Christmas dayHang wreaths,Green for spent passion,Red for new pain.
